  Thank you to Sofía Ivy Pupo, who did an thorough, thoughtful, and kind sensitivity edit on this book, with guidance from Tessera Editing’s Manu Shadow Velasco. I can’t say enough good things about Tessera, Manu, and Sofi. But at bottom, this book is my human endeavor, for better or for worse, and any errors I have made or words that might wound or trigger, are mine and mine alone. If that happens, please let me know so I can apologize and learn to be better.

  As Bell Girl gets ready to go off to college and Bell Boy learns to drive, I am painfully aware that my days with my kids in the house are coming to an end. But you two will always be here in my thoughts, patiently giving me time in my office except in cases of absolute emergency (reciting, “only blood, vomit, or broken glass, right, Mommy?”). I will always be surprised to come downstairs and discover you not there, waiting to ask the question you swallowed, graciously, for hours. You are my best work and also so much better than I could ever have dreamed you up. I love you.

  And last, but really first, there is Mr. Bell. My best meet cute, my perfect partner, and my favorite HEA. I love you.

  About the Author

  USA Today bestselling author Serena Bell writes contemporary romance with heat, heart, and humor.

  Serena’s books have earned many honors, including a RITA finalist spot, an RT Reviewers’ Choice Award, Apple Books Best Book of the Month, and Amazon Best Book of the Year for Romance.

  When not writing, Serena loves to spend time with her college-sweetheart husband and two hilarious kiddos—all of whom are incredibly tolerant not just of Serena’s imaginary friends but also of how often she changes her hobbies and how passionately she embraces the new ones. These days, it’s stand-up paddle boarding, board-gaming, meditation, and long walks with good friends.
